FSN Final Score

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FSN Final Score is the nightly sports news program that airs across the United States on Fox Sports Net.

Currently, the show airs at 11:30 p.m. local time Monday through Friday, 10:30 p.m. Saturday, and 9:30 p.m. Sunday. On November 19, 2006, the time slot will change to 10:30 p.m. and midnight Monday through Friday, and 10:30 p.m. and 1 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

FSN Final Score debuted on July 3, 2006 and is the first nationwide sportscast to air on the collection of regional sports networks since the National Sports Report was cancelled in 2002. Van Earl Wright is the only former anchor of the first show to appear on this show.

The program consists of highlights of the night's sporting events, as well as a wrapup of some news items away from the venue of play. There are no additional analyses or feature stories, except on nights when very few games are played.

The following items are on the screen during the broadcast:

A ticker on the bottom of the screen is the "FoxSports.com on MSN Headlines." Everything that happens away from the venue of play is shown here, including contract signings, trades, criminal actions, and deaths. When the show premiered, this was on the top of the screen. In October 2006, it was moved to its present location, just above a rolling graphic showing the night's scores and details.
On the left is the main screen on which the program is shown. This expanded in size in the October redesign.
The right-hand middle portion is "The Rundown." Here is the scheduled order of content for the show. The current element is on the top in the largest print, accompanied by graphics (most often team logos). The next four items scheduled are listed below.
